Late Thursday night, California’s COVID-19 case count inched over 4,000, making it the second consecutive day the state has crossed a thousand-case marker.

When the day began, there were just over 3,000 people who had taken tests that had come back positive, having crossed that threshold Wednesday. With late-reporting counties, like Marin, counted at 10 p.m. Thursday, the latest statewide count sits at 4,040, according to the Bay Area News Group’s live tracking map.

Since 5 p.m. Wednesday, the state has confirmed an additional 1,026 cases and an additional 19 deaths from COVID-19. Statewide, 83 people have now died from complications with the coronavirus. The Bay Area total grew to 1,439 with 252 new cases in its 10 counties on Thursday, with five new deaths pushing its total to 32.

In California, that represents a 34% day-over-day increase. Cases also surged in the Bay Area, and are expected to continue to do so, but less rapidly than statewide, with a 21% increase from the previous day. In Los Angeles County, the increase in cases far outpaced the Bay Area, growing by 51% from Wednesday.

As testing ramps up statewide, positive tests could begin to flood in. On the first day of testing at the Hayward Fire Station, it saw a 26% positive rate. As of Wednesday afternoon, the state had conducted 77,800 tests but had received results from just over 20,000, leaving 57,400 outstanding.
